Big Red beat Hoyas 35-14 in regular-season opener
Big Red defeated the Hoyas 35-14 on Saturday in the regular-season. The visitors did not travel to make up the numbers and showed it with a comfortable margin. Hoyas had not won any of their three previous fixtures before this fixture.
The Hoyas lost their last three matches without a single victory. They dropped 17-20 to the Lions, then 21-24 against the Spiders, and 14-45 to the Mountain Hawks. By then the pattern was clear — they were not closing out games.
Big Red came in with mixed recent results. They beat the Bulldogs 38-25 on their last outing but lost 7-20 to the Raiders before that. The victory over the Hoyas extended their winning run after that earlier defeat.
The 21-point difference tells you what happened without needing to invent detail. Big Red had the deeper squad and showed it when the Hoyas ran out of options. Hoyas refused to go away but could not find a response.
The result leaves the Hoyas searching for answers after three straight losses. Big Red move into a better position with this win, especially after the Raiders victory had slipped through their fingers.
